WASHINGTON— (NEA)—Of the 38 item* on the agenda for the
W tenth meeting of the Organization of American State*, opening .
at Caracas, Venezuela, on March 1, oMy one subject be* bees pro-
posed for discussion by the United States. This is Item Five—
Intervention of International Communism in the American Repub-
lic*.
It issomething of an ironical touch that while the United States
delegation wants to talk about this more than anything else, the
other sister .republics to the South want to talk about everything
** The cencertorintersFTMMthe-eommmist -issue*s, of course,
Guatemala, where a fellow-traveling government-has openly em-
braced Communists who are thumbing their nose at Uncle Sam and
getting away with it. Some of the Latin-American diplomats ap-
parently feel that the U. S. put this Item Five on the agenda just
to take a whack at Guatemala. To the United States, the Important
point is to awaken the other republics to the danger of communism
in the Americas. Frankly, however, there is little real hope that
anything will be done about it at Caracas.
Most of the Important problems were settled with the adoption
of the Inter-American Charter at Bogota, Colombia, five years ago.
WHAT now comes up is a second look, and possible refinement
W of the Bogota Pact—not to be confused with the Charter— for
Inter-American dfense against aggression by Latin-American
countries. It has been ratified by only eight of the 21 countries. A
further look into the operation of the Inter-American Peace Com-
mittee—to settle disputes between American republics by peaceful
means—is also on the agenda.
Economic questions are of real importance to all countries. For-
tunately for Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who will head
the V. S. delegation to Caracas if he gets away from Berlin in time,
this country is now prepared to talk about such things. A year ago
it would not have been possible. The Eisenhower administration
had not then clarified its Latin-American policies.
CINCE the inauguration, the President's brother. Dr. Milton
-TEisenhewer, has made his report with its-nine prineipal -rec-
ommendations. President Elsenhower’s new budget message out-
lined his plan for giving a tax reduction incentive to U. S. firms
making investments overseas. And the Randall report on inter-
national trade policy, while not ’yet dignified as an Eisenhower
policy, does present a program which can be the basis for discus-
sion at Caracas. .
What is not yet in order is a U. S. policy on foreign Idans.
Whether It will be completed before the Inter-American conference
opens is questionable. Basically, the U. S. wants investment loan
guarantees, which the Latins feel infringes on their sovereignty.
But it is a dangerous booby-trap area for the U. S. All trade
agreements have to be made on a bilateral basis. What the Latins
seem to want is a multilateral pact that will guarantee them more.
Knowing the dangers of a domestic parity price support program
for its own farmers, the United States will have to vote against
trying to establish this system on an international basis. ,
Ten agenda items on cultural, social and human rights are ex-
pected to consume time and talk, without great accomplishment

POTTSBORO, Tex., March 1.
UP—Alexander Kirkpatrick, who 44
years ago actually did what mil-
lions of working Americans have
threatened to do, announced Mon-
day that he has hung' up hi* fishing
gear for good and returned to civil-
ization.
"I'm too old to stay in the woods
any more," Kirkpatrick said. "I
can't get around and I’ve lost all
desire to do any more fishing."
He is now 91, with, a long white
beard and has to use a eane to get.
around. He was a vigorous man
and a telegraph operator in Potts-
boro when he telegraphed his dis-
trict office: "Going fishing- Send

"I lasted at that for a year,” he
said. "The work hemmed me in.
so < I want back to the woods for
good."
He built a cabin deep in the.
woods near Rock Creek. The only
time he ever went to town was
when he had to have fishing or
hunting equipment. He hunted and
fished for his food and trapped to
buy his supplies. People began to
call him “the little, hermit."

“Everyone’s the killing kind,”

The frustration angle again. I hear
you had self-admitted represions

out two small jeweled watches
